Friendly and professional service

Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was able to take us behind the scenes of a family owned tulip farm. I highly recommend hiring this company for a layover tour

Our Amazing LayOver tour to Amsterdam

DrDarleneV_W, Jan 2024

Our driver Elias was amazing, professional and very knowledgeable. It was perfect driving around and learning the history plus getting out a couple of times for the coffee shoppe and canal cruise! Just enough to keep us busy plus the benefit of having someone who knows the city. The bonus was being picked up and dropped off at the airport!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Happy to hear Elias made your city tour enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your positive feedback! We appreciate it very much. Kind Regards, Team Dutch Tours and Transfers

Great way to spend a six hour layover.

Rosemarie_H, Jan 2024

If you have six hours or more to spare, this is a great way to get an overview of key areas of Amsterdam. The owner who did my tour was extremely nice and accommodating. His knowledge of the area was impressive. He made me feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Delighted to hear you had a wonderful time on your Amsterdam tour! Your recommendation will undoubtedly assist others. Be sure to return in spring to witness the beautiful blooming flowers! Team Dutch Tours and Transfers

elena_s, Nov 2023

Our driver was very accommodating and attentive however this is not a city tour this is just a driver taking you around. The name of this activity is misleading and would be great to clarify to avoid the similar expectations we had.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Dear Elena, We appreciate your honest feedback. While a walking tour might align better with your pace preferences, a drive through Amsterdam offers significant advantages for those with limited time. You made the most of it by extending the tour to explore the countryside, including the windmill village and the fishing village of Amsterdam. We'll ensure to clarify this in our description for future reference. Thank you for your insights. Kind regards, Eliza

great tour and worth the cost!

Susan_B, Nov 2023

The whole tour was great. Eunis did an amazing job - top class tour company. From the moment I was met at the airport to being dropped off was a great experience. He was flexible and took me around to all the parts of the city and I learned many different aspects of the different parts of the city. He stopped and let me take pictures. Told me many stories. And added extra time to the tour and took me to see windmills, how they made clogs, and a cheese store. I would highly recommend this company and tour. You will get your money's worth. I plan to visit Amsterdam again and will definitely use this company for another tour.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Fantastic to hear you enjoyed the tour with Yonas It's great that he made your experience flexible, informative, and even added extra stops. Thanks for recommending us, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another tour when you visit Amsterdam again! Safe travels!

Accommodating and well worth it!

Cynthia_L, Oct 2023

We booked the tour and then had a change to our schedule. Younis was so accommodating. Even though we had to shorten our tour time, he made sure we saw the best of Amsterdam! We were very happy!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

I'm glad to hear that Younis was accommodating and made sure you still experienced the best of Amsterdam, despite the change in your schedule. Happy customers make us happy! If you ever plan another visit, we'd be thrilled to show you more of what the city has to offer

Thank you!

Keienya_W, Sep 2023

I found this last minute and what a jewel! My husband and I had such a marvelous experience. He is still bragging about the great time he had. Our layover was 6 hours. This gave us plenty of time to see the beauty of Amsterdam, take beautiful photos, and experience delicious Dutch coffee. We originally were going to attempt this feat alone, but the guided tour allowed for so much additional knowledge to be shined upon us. Thank you so much for this gift!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

We're thrilled that you had a marvelous experience on our tour during your layover in Amsterdam. It's fantastic to hear that you and your husband enjoyed the beauty of the city. Thank you for choosing us, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future. Warm regards, Eliza

Amsterdam Layover in a Perfect Way

Alan_A, Jun 2023

We had a GREAT layover in Amsterdam and it was because of our driver. I can't remember his name but he was great. He was available and in contact with us the minute we landed in Amsterdam. Met us quickly and off we went. He took us to see the spots we wanted to see. We asked for a place to get Poffertjes - excellent I might add. He also got us to the Anne Frank House 30 minutes prior to our tour to walk around for a bit. After the tour, we needed to get back to the airport asap and he made it happen. He was prompt, safe, personable and took care of us. I would recommend using this tour to get around on your quick layover in Amsterdam. It was well worth it!

The best Amsterdam Layover.

Lisette_K, Jun 2023

Our guide was fabulous. He toured us around the City, taking time for photos, but the best part of the excursion was his taking us to the Windmills. We had so much fun. Seeing how cheese is made and clogs and the picture opportunities. I had difficulty with the cold so he took off his coat and wrapped it around me. We laughed and enjoyed the tour. It was one of the best we had during our 10 days on the ship. Lovely, lovely man

Excellent tour!

Jen_W, Jun 2023

Excellent experience! We had a long layover in Amsterdam. Our guide picked us up at the meeting spot and drove us around to anywhere we wanted to go. He was very presentable and professional. He drove us around town and explained some of the history of the city! I highly recommend using his services if you are in Amsterdam!

Best of a short time

Connie_L, Mar 2023

Wonderful experience. We were delayed getting through customs. Our guide made the best of the time we had and was very informative with a wonderful personality

Quick overview of Amsterdam

Samir_E, Jun 2022

Eric was great, he asked us where we wanted to go and made some nice suggestions. The tour is 3 hrs.

Great way to see a lot!

Jenna_M, Mar 2022

Highly recommend this. It was a very easy way to see Amsterdam in a few hours on a layover. Our driver had great communication, was very friendly and an excellent tour guide. We saw a lot in a short time!

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thank you for your review, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour, hope so see you again !!!!

Excellent tour

Stefanie_M, Mar 2022

Timur was excellent. He drove us around the city and south to see a windmill while providing us with historical and current information about the sites. We ate at a local bakery which was delicious! We got out of the car and did a little walking in our own. His directions were spot on and he was right where we needed him to be when we finished. Would highly recommend.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thank you for your review, we hope to see you again, we have much more to offer, I am sure you will have a fantastic stay in the Netherlands.

Great time in Amsterdam!

Penny_F, Oct 2021

Let's face it-- almost anything is better than a long wait at the airport for your next flight.. However, this layover day trip was perfect for us. Erick our driver and guide was punctual, accommodating , and very knowledgeable. We saw windmills, had a canal tour and visited the Anne Frank house.. It's a beautiful city even in non-tulip times and well worth seeing. It also doesn't hurt that the people are friendly (and all very good looking :) )

Well organized!

Sathish P, Dec 2019

Awesome experience! Really professional and courteous staff! So willing to accommodate last minute changes! Beautiful!

Response from Host, Jan 2020
